Metals and what they're good for, sentence 4

Mixing metals makes alloys that are better than the pure metals: copper with tin makes bronze, and iron with a little carbon makes steel, strong enough for bridges.

Who acts: Mixing, alloys, copper, iron · What happens: mix, make, be · To what, where: metals, alloys, bronze, steel

This is a sentence of the lesson «Metals and what they're good for» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Mixing, alloys, copper, iron), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
